9 Nines Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I am willing to trade Royce Freeman for a top WR. He did very well in first preseason game: 38 yards on 4 carries, no losses - lowest run was around 4 yards, and TD. Run heavy offense this year. I like him but need help at WR. Perhaps someone is in opposite situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is going to trade a top WR for a 3rd round RB after one preseason game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason that most likely the leagues he is in are hidden behind the internet. There is absolutely no way that he would be friends with someone enough where they want him in the league. This was simply first come first serve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamalisms Posted August 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Goodness, they make this tedious. I'm working on it finally. Should be done tonight, moving FA to midnight Tues/Wed. A lot of this looks like we can have you guys self-input next year. We're definitely going to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know everyone in this league is an airhead and are enamored with shallow things, but we should really consider moving this league to Fleaflicker.com. I know it's not as pretty and shiny, but the controls on that site are straight-forward and easy to use. Cyrus can easily make someone else a co-commish and they can carry out tasks as they need to be without having to go through Yahoo's ridiculousness.

Jamalisms Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 @Bink You traded 1 for 2, drafted 2 and cut 2. I need one more cut from you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abenjami Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 @Jamalisms It seems like there are some errors with the website. For example, when I go to the player list and click the "show my team" box, no players appear. Also, when I look at my team, Terrell Pryor Sr. is on my roster (as he should be). But then if you look at free agent list, it says he's available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bink's count was off and I have to validate Cornrow as well. I think he had too many players. Then I get to finish entering everything A SECOND TIME and see if I get to do it a third time or if the system actually fucking processes shit.

Jamalisms Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I went through and selected everyone's keepers for them. That too awhile but it's good to be done. Went into the draft to process rookies and all rosters were empty. Ok. Let me look around. Oh, it wants me to approve all keepers first. Ok, done. Went into the draft and rosters are still empty. Ok. Let me look around. Now it wants me to assign keepers one by one by searching for them by name and adding them to each team, by round. And you can assign a keeper identified on one team in the first fucking step to a totally different team in the draft, so none of it is prepopulated even by team. Ok. Fine. Fuck you. But I did it. Oops, this guy has too many players because some are reserved for IR and there's no way to do that during the draft so there's a hard cap of 23. Ok, I guess I'll add IR players manually after the draft. Ok, it won't let me process the draft. Oh, everyone needs 23 players drafted so I have to add bogus players to teams that have open roster spots. Ok. Sounds like a stupid plan but whatever. Alright, I'm done. Let me review a few teams again and combine the roster last year with the cut lists provided and the draft results (three sources). FUCK. Some of these teams aren't quite right. Now I have to review everyone. Ok, I'm not done but my kid just woke up and it's 2 am so I'm putting them to bed and then going to bed myself. Looks like another punt to another day. FYI: We're don't this shit a whole lot differently next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI: We're don't this shit a whole lot differently next year. I’ve never run a yahoo league myself but there has to be an easier way. Couldn’t you do things in a different order? For example, scrap using the draft and/or keeper options. Just start the new league season with existing rosters from last year. Do the cuts and IR moves first to free up the roster spots, then add the rookies to those empty spots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like another punt to another day. FYI: We're don't this shit a whole lot differently next year. Dude, I feel for you. I don't say this to stick a finger in the eye or to be a smart ass, but I have to say this again... there is none of this hassle with Fleaflicker. You don't have to select everyone's keepers, you don't have to import rosters every year as players remain (as keepers, of which you can have as many as you want), the website supports an email draft where you log in when it's your turn to draft (time limit for each pick is up to the commish/co-commish), you can upsize the rosters to account for rookies and then have everyone make their own roster cutdowns before downsizing the rosters again, IR is customizable, etc etc etc. And it's all free, so... This is just too much work for someone to have to deal with for a fantasy league, especially when you're having to stay up until 2am, when there are better/easier options available. I know we probably won't be switching platforms for this season, but I'd recommend just creating an account for Fleaflicker if you don't already have one and create a dummy league to play around with and figure out how to configure league settings to see how you like it.

Biggest issue is each step I thought it was gonna be the last step so I just bit the bullet and did it. Then it didn't work. Like I said - fuck this process for next year. It's going down differently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamalisms Posted August 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 @Cornrow WallaceYou are 1 over your roster limit. You started with 26, traded for 2 and drafted 6, which put you at 34. You submitted 10 drops. I need one more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
